Hi there, I am currently running through a PCI program at my company and am looking for recommendations on an email encryption tool. We currently use a licensed version of Winzip, but I have heard that this may not be up to job as far as passing a PCI DSS audit is concerned. Is Winzip good enough? and if not, what should we be using to get a pass on this? Many thanks Pete
More information would be handy to help give a reasonable answer. What OS are you using? What MUA are you using? What are you trying to encrypt in your email? If you're using WinZip currently, I would assume you're just looking to encrypt the attachment. Are you also looking to be able to encrypt (and sign) the entire email message? Is compression necessary for your application? As far as email encryption is concerned, typical methods for this application usually consist of either SSL certificates or PGP/GPG encryption.
